Rolduc during the blue hour

Rolduc is situated in Kerkrade, southern part of the Netherlands. History goes back to 1104. For a long time it was used as an abbey, nowadays it is used as a seminary. Beyond that it’s a place for conferences. And there are located a hotel, a restaurant and a café.

For me it is an ideal place to take pictures. Some of them I like to present here at my homepage.

Almost night at Rolduc.
